The request was successful.

Dear Sir/Madam,

These questions pertain to your logo.

— When was your current logo, corporate style, graphics and
branding implemented?
— Who designed it?
— How much were the designers paid for their services?
— Were other designers consulted? Was there competition? If so, who
was involved, and was any payment made to unsuccessful firms?
— Are there any "alternate" versions of the branding (as in, any
which were designed but not taken up), and if so, please supply an
electronic copy.
— Please provide me with a copy of your logo guidelines, branding
manual or equivalent document.

Yours faithfully,
Steve Elibank

implemented?

Answer:

June 2009

Precedent Communications Ltd

£28,310 (£32,556.50) this is for the Identity guidelines.

Ø Were other designers consulted? Was there competition? If so, who was
involved, and was any payment made to unsuccessful firms?

No - only slight iterations of the same design to make them more
